Heath arrived in Texas Thursday night for a physical and
vision test, and then had his first team meeting Friday morning.

"On Friday, we
had early meetings first thing in the morning to install some of the defense,"
Heath said. "We had two practices on Friday and then another two on Saturday."

Heath said he was happy with his performance at the camp,
especially on special teams.

"I think I did some good things," Heath said. "We were just
in helmets, so it's not the same as full pads, but I thought I did well in
special teams drills, and that was one of my focuses going in."

As a safety, Heath was able to see some of the Cowboys top
draft picks up close. All three of Dallas' top three picks were on the
offensive side of the ball.

Wisconsin offensive lineman Travis Frederick was the Cowboys
first round pick, San Diego State tight end Gavin Escobar was taken in the
second round and Baylor receiver Terrance Williams was drafted in the third
round.

"I'm usually assigned the tight end, so I played against Escobar
a lot," Heath said. "He was a great player and athlete, but the players taken
in the first few rounds were on a another level than a lot of the guys I
played against."

While the veterans weren't allowed to practice at the camp,
many of them were at the team's training facility.

Heath spent time talking with veteran cornerback Brandon
Carr, who also came from a Division II school. Carr was taken in the fifth
round of the 2008 Draft out of Grand Valley State University.

The most surreal moment of the weekend for Heath was meeting
pro-bowl defensive end DeMarcus Ware.

"My locker was two down from his," Heath said. "He came up
to me and asked me how rookie camp went, asked me about how I was doing. He
just treated me as one of the guys. I didn't expect him to be rude or anything,
but I thought the veterans might stick with each other, I mean he's the best in
the world at what he does."

Heath will get a chance to play with both players during the
Cowboys first scheduled OTAs May 21-23. It will be the first of three such sessions
of the summer.

The Cowboys cut around 20 players at the end of the
mini-camp, but Heath wasn't one of them so he will spend the rest of his summer
working with the Cowboys in hopes of landing a spot on the roster in the fall.

"The cuts were a reminder to me that nothing is guaranteed,"
Heath said. "It's hard to get into the NFL, it's harder to stay."

Heath isn't spending too much time worrying about his status. He is
taking the advice the coaching staff gave the rookies at the start of the
weekend seriously.

"All the coaches say if you start worrying and playing the
numbers game it can get in your head," Heath said. "You start tensing up and
don't play as well, so I'm just going to play as well as I can and let the rest
take care of itself."
